Cooma farmhouse

Close to Cooma this property offers comfort, convenience and a beautiful vista from the dinner table. We stayed here en route to the snow and enjoyed the wood stove and electric blankets! With a fully functioning kitchen and laundry this is a great place to stay for a night or a week.

Snowy farm stay

We had a pleasant and fun short break. The place was clean and all amenities as per description. We were told about $100 cost for fire wood so we took our own. Over all we loved it and will be going back next year. Thanks Deb for hosting us.

Quaint rural cottage

Just a one night stop over. Nice place - great bathrooms and well stocked kitchen. We took up Deb’s offer for barbecue, supplies and breakfast, which was a great help. Although it wasn’t cold enough to use the fire, it had been set ready for use which was a generous touch.

Simply perfect!

Snowdrift Cottage is as special as it looks. Rustic simplicity and modern good taste are beautifully combined so you soak up the peace while also being very comfortable. Staying on a farm with its natural beauty added to the sense of serenity. It was wonderful for a relaxing summer getaway and we can't wait to go back in winter. Thanks so much Deb.

The property was as advertised except there was no wifi..Probably a blessing as we were there to have a break from Sydney anyway. Lovely house, clean, welcoming and well catered and heated. If you like peace and quiet, this is for you. It is also close to a lot of rivers if you are into fly fishing. Never did get to the bottom of why the area is called The Brothers.

All set up and ready to go

The cottage is beautiful! We arrived to a lovely, clean house. There were fresh towels and bedding, and the kitchen was well stocked, including some fruit. There was a horse in the paddock nearby, and a lovely dog. There was so much space on the property! Best of all, the fire place was built and all ready to go. It was easy to light and gave us wonderful warmth and comfort all night. The owner was really communicative and lovely. I would definitely stay again.

Cottage Stay

Great cottage in rural setting and 10 minutes from town. Very comfortable for our Easter stay and regular visit from Jimmen being the family dog who lived to visit and spend time. Easy to book and Deb as host was excellent on communication and had arrangements in place prior to our arrival. Upon return to home our 5 year old daughter identified that she left her precious doggy woggy behind. A message to Deb and it was found and posted to us with much appreciation. Thank-you very much Deb!

Expensive compared to service

In property details, tons of pictures with snow but in reality no snow at all, even though it's full on snow in surrounding areas. My whole family disappointed. We booked it after snow, which all people do. Hot water service in the property very poor. After two persons shower, HOT water finished. Once it finished you've to wait next day for hot water

Peaceful Farm Stay

Property is a beautiful older style house surrounded by gorgeous views. Communication with Deb was fantastic, she went out of her way to set up the fireplace, turn on the heater in one of the rooms, have her horse close by so my daughter could feed it carrots and her dog was very friendly and enjoyed pats which my 8yr old loved giving. The stay was absolutely lovely and had everything needed for a peaceful night away from the city. The property was very clean and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend this property for anyone, we really enjoyed our stay.
